No, I wouldn't think of this as spyware. For one thing, I use a couple of
anti spyware programs )AdAware and Spyware Blaster) and anyway, what do you
suppose this would be doing if it were spyware? Someone sends it as a
harmless annoyance? Just wondering. Finally, what is "E" that you say
doesn't catch all spyware? I'm not sure what you're rferring to.
Thanks.
Just yware

I'd look into spyware as the popup blocker in ie doesn't catch everything.
Just a guess based on recent experience.

Hi all,
First of all, I'm using Jaws 8, Windows XP Home, and Internet Explorer 6, if
any of that happens to matter. Now here's what I'm puzzled about. Only
recently, when many Web pages load, I seem to get an intermediate screen
that I have to click off with a convenient Close button so that I can access
the actual Web page.
Now, this may sound like some sort of ordinary pop-up that I'm describing,
although one with an unusually handy way to exit it. But I have IE set to
suppress pop-ups, which it faithfully does. I have tried to explore this
screen using both my virtual cursor and then, when arrowing one way or
another turned up nothing for Jaws to read, with my Jaws cursor. But all I
can find in this area before I click it off are the words RSS Feed Available
and the Close button.
Now since I installed Jaws 8, a quirky version if ever I encountered one,
RSS feed availability has awls been announced as most web pages load, but
only along with other information that Jaws speaks as a page loads. Frames,
links, and so forth. So I don't know what the connection is to RSS feed
notification. I only know that that is the only text I can find on these
screens.
Last, it only started a week or two ago, not immediately upon my installing
Jaws 8. I haven't changed anything in my IE options menu, or made any other
changes I can think of.
Anybody know what this could be? It's really annoying.
